Largest Tin-Producing Countries 2023

Tin is one of those metals that never trends but always delivers. It's classified as a strategically important industrial metal, and it ends up in electronics solder, tinplate, protective coatings, chemicals, and various alloys. Global tin production doesn't come close to what the big base metals pull, but because modern technology leans on it, the economic weight is real. The stats below cover 2023 and come from World Mining Data 2025. What's being tracked is contained tin (Sn) in mine production, counted in metric tonnes. That's the tin itself, not the heft of the rock it was pulled from. China sat at the top in 2023 with 68,000 metric tonnes. Indonesia took second at 50,669. Myanmar was third with 41,950. Peru landed fourth at 26,230. Brazil came fifth at 25,121. Bolivia sixth at 18,693. DR Congo seventh at 18,460. Australia eighth at 9,852. Vietnam ninth at 9,079. Nigeria tenth at 7,680. Malaysia eleventh at 3,767. Russia twelfth at 3,570. Rwanda thirteenth at 3,210. Namibia fourteenth at 876. Laos fifteenth at 790. Spain sixteenth at 356. Tanzania seventeenth at 316. Burundi, Portugal, and Thailand wrapped up the top 20 with 70, 48, and 30 metric tonnes respectively. Combined, those twenty countries made up roughly 99.99% of the reported global total in the WMD 2025 dataset, which logged 288,806 tonnes worldwide for 2023. China's slice alone was 23.55%.
